Losing scroll bars in Access 2003

Hi all -

I've just discovered why my scroll bars in text boxes used on Access 2003
forms have been disappearing - if the text has any margins, the scroll bars
are not visible.

Get rid of any margins & they come back!

I'm not sure if this is documented - I had a search but nothing found so
thought I would share it with you.

If's there's a work-around (text looks better with a small margin) I would
appreciate hearing.

Cheers,
Chris
 
Yes, Chris. This is a known problem in Access 2000, 2002, and 2003.

AFAIK, it has not been fixed, i.e. have to choose internal margins or
scrollbars, but not both.
 
Thanks Allen - much appreciated.

I'm sure that now Bill knows I have a problem, he'll fix it for me!

Regards,

Chris
 
THANKS YA'LL FOR SHARING THIS !!!!
I have been fighting with the stupid "ghost" scroll bars for days (YES I had
margins on the text boxes). Finally an explanation.
PS: I'm sure Bill hasn't slept well these past few nights thinking about
this problem... ha ha ha ha
I'm sure if the problem was with their $$$ MARGINS instead they'd have had
it fixed by now. Must be nice to be a "monopoly"....

Regards to all and HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
(not for you Bill, you keep on working on a sensible solution)

M.S
